Even old image data is pretty useful. If they could make a 3d view that seamlessly integrated satellite, plane, and street level imagery into one product, it would be a much better UX than having to manually switch to street view mode.

Well, almost all of satellite view is actually plane images. Satellite images aren't good enough resolution for 3D as far as I know.

The other problem is you can only update them in sunny weather. So SAR is a lot more useful because it can see through clouds.
